Kyren Wilson - Session 1

3

Good afternoon. We are down to the one table set up for the semi-finals of the World Championship and we start with the semi-final between Kyren Wilson and John Higgins this afternoon.
I'm Mel (@MissMelanie_H) and I will here for all of the action and I will also be back at 7pm for the start of Barry Hawkins v Mark Williams.

The head to head between the two players stands at 1 each (Higgins also beat Wilson in the Championship League this year). The last meeting was at the World Championships last year when Higgins won in quarter-finals.
In the quarter-finals this years, Wilson beat Mark Allen 13-6 but Higgins had to dig deep to beat Trump 13-12 last night.

JH 7 - 1 KW (0-0)
Wilson finds a red into the right corner pocket but then runs into the pack and doesn't have a colour on. He is snookered on all of them and nominates black. He misses it... back it goes... good hit next time.

JH 37 - 1 KW (0-0)
The black is only available into one pot but the pink is free. The reds are also reasonably open to make a decent sized break. He pots a red as his 1000th ball this tournament (again - Eurosport comms' stat not mine!).

JH 50 - 8 KW (0-0)
He tries to free the black and loses position. He moves a red near the right corner into a better position with his safety. Wilson pots a red and moves the red by the black. He lands close to the pink and doesn't have a pot on. Poor safety.
